An Atlantic coast campsite 700 metres from the beach
Camping du Jard enjoys a convenient location in the La Grière district of La Tranche-sur-Mer. The Atlantic coast and its long sandy beaches are only 700 metres from the campsite, making it easy to alternate between swimming in the sea and relaxing beside the campsite pools.
La Tranche-sur-Mer is known for its varied coastal landscapes, including beaches, dunes, forests, marshes and the Belle-Henriette nature reserve. The area is suitable for both relaxing seaside holidays and more active breaks involving water sports, walking and cycling.
Several beaches are located close to the campsite, including Les Bouchots–Grière Beach, Porte des Îles Beach, Sainte-Anne Beach and La Belle-Henriette Beach. Other spots, such as La Terrière Beach, are particularly popular with surfers and visitors looking for a more natural setting.
Water park
A campsite with a large water park in Vendée
The water park is one of the main attractions at Camping du Jard. Its indoor and outdoor facilities are designed for guests of all ages, with heated pools, waterslides, a river and aquatic play areas.
Younger children can enjoy the paddling and splash areas, while older children and teenagers can make the most of the slides and other water-based attractions. Adults may prefer to swim, join an aquafitness session or relax beside the pools.
The indoor pool is particularly useful on cooler or less sunny days. Families can therefore enjoy swimming during their Atlantic coast camping holiday without depending entirely on the weather.
